whoa...Silent Hill? I'm not down with demon children, yo.
I like this. I like writing in a fairly anonymous medium. Its good. It's a lot better than Facebook or Myspace, because I feel more compelled to write about whats on my mind whenever, instead of worrying that maybe I'm divulging too muh to people. I'm just one of those people who's awkward giving a lot of detail in person to people I know closely...
It's really really foggy outside...like...from Silent Hill foggy. I went outside, and was certain I was going to see a creepy little girl running around. This is the only relevant thing to the subject line.
However, speaking of children
I've been hired to take care of my cousin's 2 1/2 year old girl in the afternoons...which is cool because I love her to death and I get $75 a week for it (hey thats not bad for getting to play with my cousin for 5 hours a day). The thing that concerns me is...she may be Autistic. It's not for sure yet, she's too young to tell. But she's developing slowly for her age, and she works with a therapist every day. I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about me. Toddlers are a handful anyway, but she is distant and aloof to a lot of things. Getting her attention is very tough, and changing her is another thing. I just pray that God will give me the strength to take care of her as best as I can. Of course she still plays and laughs and does little girl things, but its like I've got this extra responsibility and I hope I'm up to the task.
One interesting thing is that this seems to be one of those little things of life that came out of nowhere..."hey, do you know anyone who can watch her during the week?" "well...I can do it...I get out of class early everyday except for Tuesday..." and that was that. I had been praying for something to keep me occupied and maybe get my mind off of my own selfish pity party. So thanks God, mysterious ways indeed.
